The searchers all say

they'd have made Whitefish Bay

If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her

They might have split up

or they might have capsized

They may have broke deep and took water

And all that remains

is the faces and the names
G
D
A
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters

The islands and bays are for sportsmen

With the gales of November remembered

Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”

“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
